Default Stage II 103 with Cam, advice??

I've got an 07 Fatboy with a stage I (w/pcIII) and am strongly considering boring the cylinders from 96" to 103" and adding a low to mid range cam. I've been advised that a good cam with this setup is a Crane 1-6001 or an SE-204, which are supposedly about the same. I have no intention of doing any head work at this time.
&nbsp\\;
Have any of you done anything close to this with your rides and how do you feel about it? One of my biggest concerns is that the description of the crane 1-6001 suggests that its best for riding 1 up, which concerns me that it will not be good in the low end...
&nbsp\\;
Would my performance on the low end possibly&nbsp\\;be less than it is now with stock cams and jugs?? I do want the mid-range gains, but don't want to completely sacrifice the low end grunt. In fact, I feel like it needs a little extra low end grunt as it is.
&nbsp\\;
And advice would be greatly appreciated, as this would be a first for me.

Thanks

the Head-Quarters TC-500 would be a good canidate without headwork, but with head work the HQ Firestorm cams make ugly low and mid range power. around 120 lbs with a 10.5 103.

another fave is the Woods 6.

I made a post on 7/4 about my build. There is a dyno sheet there also, if you keep looking you will see it. Very similar to what you are talking about. I used a Wood 6-6. I love it. Read my post for the various components, it is very close to your plans.
The torque I got was a huge improvement and made the bike a blast to ride. The cam taps some, but the power and responsiveness are so good I don't care. Good luck!
